I've finally worn my Blaster's chain out. Since Im out of adjustment room, its time to replace it (and the sprockets of course) with something of good quality. Think this is a deal? Or should I go for something else? I don't want a no-name eBay chain kit which may or may not break at some...

This was too good not to share. For those who don't know, I work at a lawmower repair shop as a small engine tech. Well, today we had a customer come in to pick up a tiller which had been repaired. I figured he'd be driving a truck or SUV towing a trailer. Nope! Instead, here's what showed up...

Hey all, I have a problem. I installed a Sony Xplod radio/CD player (the basic model from Walmart) in my wife's truck two years ago. The CD player still works fine, but for some reason the radio has become stuck on one station. The problem started out of the blue a few months ago. Since she...

I have up for grabs a good set of used Yamaha rolled-lip aluminum wheels. They are from a Warrior, but for those who don't know, you can run them on a Blaster as long as you swap on a pair of Banshee/YFZ/Raptor/Warrior hubs. The wheels are in good shape with normal dings/scratches, and a little...

Quick question for somebody on here who has more experience than I with Polaris sport quads: Do you know if the rear shocks will interchange somewhat between models? Reason I'm asking is I have a 1997 Trailblazer 250 with a blown rear shock. I found several good used ones around, including the...

I recently bought a set of cool red anodized lugnuts for the Blaster. The problem is, the finish is applied on top of chrome, so it is thin and easy to damage during installation. I needed to come up with a way to tighten the lugnuts without tearing up the finish on the very first...

To anybody who is curious as to why we stress doing a leakdown test on your engine, here's all the reason you'll ever need: I'm an experienced mechanic who has been working on engines for years. However, I'm also very human and I DO make mistakes, especially when I get in a hurry. I'll be...

I scored BIG this weekend. My wife has a new ride now that I brought this home: Picked 'er up for $ 500.00 cash! I need to rebuild the carb, replace the choke cable, and fix a couple other small issues, but overall its in good shape. 1998 Polaris Trailboss 250, 2-stroke of course...

Huh? Yeah, that's what I thought, too, when I saw this: Mazda RX7 1968 BMW 2002 Can't say I've EVER seen something so...different. Its kinda cool, though, and looks to be pretty well-done. Wonder what the Vise-Grips are doing on that heater hose in the last pic?? :-/

Just thought I'd share!. I don't need to do a full rebuild on the Blaster this year, but a little cosmetic upgrading never hurts! Now to go reinstall everything and take some more pics...

Well, I got the surprise of the year for my birthday yesterday! Although I recieved a couple cool things from other people, my wife outdid them all when she got me this: :D A Hurst short-throw shifter kit for my truck! I rushed out to install it the moment I had it unwrapped. I still need...

Let's have a little fun, and maybe get to know each other a little better in the process! I figured we could get (and hopefully keep) a little BF member trivia going. Post 5 random, strange, or just interesting things about you, which most people probably don't know about you. Keep it PG-13...

As the title says, I'm looking for a good used pair of aftermarket 8" aluminum wheels. Just the standard 4/100 bolt pattern. Douglas Red Label, ITP T-9, etc. I'lll pay cash, or trade you a good pair of used 9" Warrior rears. Let me know what you've got!

Ok, I know this isn't even close to being a Blaster, but since so many of y'all enjoy reading through build threads, I figured I'd make one for my bike. I traded a nice...if older.... Kohler-powered Craftsman riding lawnmower for a non-running 1987 Kawasaki KZ305 LTD two years ago. It was all...

Time to have a little fun! If you've got pics of damaged, destroyed, melted, or otherwise corrupted engines/parts/etc, post 'em up! Lets see who has the best of the worst! I:I I'll start. I'm a small engine tech by career, so most of these are related to my job. I'll snap a couple pics here...

Spring is right around the corner, and I want to check interest on a possible BF member ride during spring break....with a twist. The plan is to hit some parks and have a great time. This would be a 4 or 5 day event. Here's the idea: Haven't picked the date yet, but Im thinking the second or...

I recently had some interest expressed in wether or not I clean and rebuild carburetors. Since I do it day in and day out at work, I think its time to expand the service to Blasterforum members and guests. Here's what I'm thinking: $ 30.00 gets your stock Blaster carburetor cleaned...

Ok, I need to replace my dented and worn-out stock rear wheels. I need a set of heavy-duty aluminum wheels that will (hopefully) last for several years of hard trail riding. I already have a good set of Warrior front wheels ready to install, so I'm covered there. I'm curious about Douglas Red...

NC people! First good part listing on CL in awhile. I see a hood, headlight, possible hydro brake setup... 1990-2004 yamaha blaster parts

Wow, lol. I have heard stories of the Chevy Chevette, but I didn't think they lasted long enough to have survived into the 21st century. Not a fan of the wheels, but still kinda cool. 1979 CHEVETTE
